Chapter 17- The Truth

A month has gone by…

*Jesse *

"When shall we send the letter?" I asked.

"The day after the ball," Maron said.

"Great," I said with happiness.

You shall be mine Pan, I thought.

"Your highness," said Ethak.

"Yes?" I asked.

" Do we get a chance to torture the girl once again, since everything except her stomach is healed sir?" said Rend.

"Do whatever you please, but don't kill her. I'm in charge of that," I said looking at Argus.

Argus nodded and laughed. Everyone in the room laughed. Even Maron. Then my eyes turned into flames. Bloody flames. The guys stopped laughing and gasped. Maron gasped to. I was changing, but into what?

"Tonight there is a ball. I want Ethak and Dax to go. Talk to Pan Chan, but don't hurt her. Don't even touch her. Ask her a couple of questions. And don't tell her that you both work for me since she's never seen you before. You are new employees for me and ya'll know that. Now go," I said with evil grin.

*Pan *

I was getting ready for the ball. Man, it was too quick. I didn't understand. Trunks had a surprise for me. He told me that tonite I'm going to talk to the prince. I was so happy and sad at the same time. I was happy because I was going to meet the prince. And sad because the prince is choosing his mate tonite. Trunks told me not to worry. I knew a lot about Trunks now. I sat on my chair. A chill ran down my back. It felt like something bad is going to happen, but I was just fooling myself. I shook the thought. A tear fell down. I grabbed my skirt and blouse. It was so beautiful.

It was the tube top that I was going to wear. To tell you the truth, the clothes that I'm going to wear, is awesome. The problem is that my stomach hasn't healed. Maybe I should put powder. You know, make up powder. Then I laughed at that. This was like a dream. I put the black tube top on. Then I put the skirt with the two slits on. Then I did my hair leaving two curls on the side of my head down. I put color lipstick, but not red. It was a little darker than my skin. Then I put black eyeliner and purple eye shadow. I suddenly gasped as I looked in the mirror, although I didn't wear any jewelry. Then I smiled to myself. Then a tear fell down. I stood up and walked away from my room, leaving to the ball.

*Trunks *

I was so nervous. I can't wait to see Pan Chan. I can't wait to finally tell her the truth. I smiled at the thought. I was so happy. So excited and yet so nervous at the same time. What if she says no? What if she breaks my heart? What if…. Were running in my head. I was so scared to lose. I didn't want to lose her again. There's no way I would. I looked up at the ball was about to start.

*Pan *

I got to the ball and walked inside. Everyone gasped, especially the guys. I turned to find Trunks. Not here, I thought. I suddenly walked elegantly to the buffet area. I licked my lips. Everything smelled delicious. I was hungry, but not that hungry. Then I giggled as I remembered Trunks eating those pizzas.

"What so funny?" I heard a familiar voice right behind me.

I turned around and gasped. It was Trunks. I smiled.

"Remember when you ate all those pizzas?" I asked with a smile.

Trunks smiled.

"Of course," he said with a smile. Then people came up to us.

"Are both of ya'll together, your highness?" I heard someone asked.

"No, not yet," he replied.

Suddenly I gasped. Not yet, I thought. I'm going to get with him? When? If he asked me tonite I would definitely say yes.

"When are you going to get together?" someone else asked.

Trunks smiled at them and said.

"I can't tell you," then he left and walked on the stage.

I was surprised when I heard that. What if he really IS the prince, I thought.

*Trunks *

I got on stage.

"I like to pounce my mate," I started to say. Then I pointed to Pan Chan. Everyone turned around. Everyone gasped. Then I heard comments from a lot of men saying she is beautiful and wish I had her. But no, no one can have her. She is mine. She looked at me and gasped. I walked down the stairs and took her hand. Then I took her out to the patio. A tear fell from her eye.

"Pan Chan, what's wrong?" I asked with worry ness in the eyes.

"You…. You lied to me," she said looking away and walking away from slowly.

"I'm sorry that I did. I just wanted to be with you. Yes, I've been the Prince. I was in love with you the first time we met. I thought if I told you, I thought I would lose you," I said looking down.

Then I felt a hand under my chin. She lightly picked up my head. I wrapped my strong arms around her waist.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Please," I asked.

She gently caressed my face.

"I forgive you," she said with a smile. I smiled back at her and took her in my arms. I took off from the mansion. And went straight home.

*Ethak *

I felt a ki power rise. I looked out the window and saw thought I saw a shooting star. I looked very closely. What the HELL? They are gone!
